The Mountain Goats - Get Lonely

Quisiera no tener que recurrir a ciertos discos cuando me siento desorientado, cuando me siento sin ganas de hacer algo, incluido levantarme de la cama. Las historias que cuenta John Darnielle, son tan expresivas y faciles de adaptar a la vida de muchos que nos hace sentirlas como propias, una especie de "deja vu" musicalizado.

"Woke Up New" by
The Mountain Goats



on the morning when I woke up without you for the first time,
I felt free.
and I felt lonely.
and I felt scared.
and I began to talk to myself almost immediately,
not being used to being the only person there.
hmmmm

the first time I made coffee for just myself,
I made too much of it.
but I drank it all,
just 'cause you hate it when I let things go to waste.
and I wandered through the house, like a little boy lost at the mall.
and an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space.

and I sang oh
what do I do?
what do I do?
what do I do?
what do I do without you?

on the morning when I woke up without you for the first time,
I was cold, so I put on a sweater.
and I turned up the heat.
and the walls began to close in
and I felt so sad and frightened,
I practically ran from the living room out into the street.

and the wind began to blow and all the trees began to bend.
and the world in its cold way started coming alive.
and I stood there like a businessman waiting for a train.
and I got ready for the future to arrive.

and I sang oh
what do I do?
what do I do?
what do I do?
what do I do without you?
